Is it possible to add folders to the quick links . I would like to set up some groups of related apps.
thanks for any advice
bump. I want this too.
maybe u can try go to
/window/star menu/Program (*Copy the 'Program' , then go back to /stroage card, paste the shortcard)
then inside 'Program' u can create a folder and then put the file u wan together. u also can copy ur app on ur stroage card to this folder. (if copy files or app then paste inside 'Program' MUST BE 'PASTE SHORT CUT'
I do this for my office file, cos i have a lot of price list and item need using exel and word, so i can create quick link on my home tap ^^
hope this will help u.

Erm not 100% sure what you are suggesting?
I tried making a shortcut to the games folder in the program folder. I could then add this onto the quick links but sadly when I click on that it just gives an error. I guess its trying to execute a program as opposed to just firing up the shotcut.
This would be handy as I want nice and quick access to games but can't really have them all linked on the quick links lol.
I did read how to exactly do this in the blackstone forum but cant for the life of me rememember how to do it.
I have done some searching around the forum and can't seem to find anything helpful. This should surely be fairly easy. Quick links to folders would be very handy.

Hope this is the right place for this....
I cooked & downloaded 3.17.03 (from Jeffs Kitchen) and have two problems:
1. When I go into Excell or Word now, I can't see any files that are loaded on the memory card. I have to use File Manager and double click the file I want. I can't find any way to inform Excell where to look either.
2. I also can't find anyway to add programs to the quick launch program (tdLaunch). I went to the authors homepage and dowloaded the PPC 2002 cab file but this won't run on my XDA. Curious that the author doesn't cover this most basic need in the README file. (I can't find any Help file for this even tho' I selected Help Files with all programs I chose to include.
Anyone know the answer to these problems?
A number of the attractive features mentioned in the ROM Kitchen announcement are not present on the version dloaded from Jeff. (Absence of tutorial at start-up, localisation to Central Europe etc, auto-config).
If any of the Developers see this, could they please comment why this is? (other than Jeff is not using the Developers ROM enhancements??)
Many thanks.

Tap "start",...tap "settings".....tap "today"...... at base of screen tap "items"......tap "tdlaunch".........tap "options" you can add, delete, etc from there. Hope this what you are wanting.

Try opening word or excel, at the base of screen tap "tools".....tap "options", take a look in there for the defaults for saving and viewing files. Might help.

No dice on that one unfortunately. Even tho' i tell it i want to save to Storage Card 1 it won't look in there.
It's not this "ignore my doc" file is it? I used ot have one but now I can't see one in the root dir of the card.
:?
Did you try reformatting the card, after backing up the files of course. Also have you actually saved a file to the sd card since your upgrade?

No, I havn't tried reformatting it. (After all its the ROM that was changed not the location of the data). And I just tried saving new files- They ARE written to the SD folder "My Documents".
But the XDA still doesn't see any files in the other folders on the card...
you have to save those files in the My Document directory on the SD Card. thats how MS did it.
Hi.
Actually, I dimly recalled that the file ignore_my_docs IS necessary for the OS to 'see' files on the Memory cards which are outside of My Documents.
I located a backup and found the ignore_my_docs file, transferred it over to the XDA and my problem was solved.
Not actually sure how the original was deleted. :?
Thanks for the feedback anyway.

helo ihave a jasjar and in the programes folder thers the games folder and that folder have an icon on it (cards).
i want to be able to have icons on evry folder that i did.
can it be done .
thank u all.
yanivbe: examine the icon.lnk in the games folder and then use the same technique as required.
FYI:
make a shortcut or document, eg:
1#shellres.dll,-8229

Save as icon.lnk and place in each folder as required.
For more details on the .lnk syntax, search against my username for the word "completeness".

Nope u can create shortcuts for other icons in the Other tab...yet there is one way...search the DEV/HACK area for a thread .INK Shortcuts or some thing like that.
btw which shortcut do u want
Searching for the Wifi network discovery, looked in the windows folder does not give the right links.
I'll put out a search for .ink.
Tnx
here u go....its complicated alittle..but if u want to make a shortcut of any file (those that are in that thread)..just copy the location from the post and paste it on ur pc(in a new text file)...and save them as .lnk..now copy them to ur pc and check them out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340974&highlight=.Ink+Shortcuts

Just use a prog like Total Commander to make links to the Storage Card progs. Make sure you put the links in /Windows/Start Menu/Programs/. Now, you'll be able to add them to the Launcher menu.
copy and then paste the shortcut only. this doesnt take much memory at all.
and it works perfect.
this u also can do with the standart file explorer
how do u do that.. i try but couldn't find how to create shortcuts..
There is a free program with name "start menu manager" that does exactly this, Google it.

(number of characters here)# "program location here"
save as a .txt and rename to .lnk and place it in windows\start menu\program files
apps from sd run slows
Using the default file explorer just copy the file then paste as shortcut. That's the easiest way to do it on the device.
hi, I installed a game on my HD and the icon is in the Start menu...
how can I move it to the Game folder?? or in any other folder??
anyone help please.. thx..
open file explorer, go to windows folder<start menu<programs<games u'll find the icon of your game there, cut and paste it in any other place but under the programs folder. u can also create a new folder and put it there.
